Traditional Thai New Year celebrations allowed as travel restrictions eased for first time in two years and songkran ‘sanook’ promises to return
For two years now, Thais haven’t celebrated Songkran – the funnest festival of the year and the world’s biggest water fight – but this April you can expect to get wet again. The government has officially announced that people can go ahead with conventional gatherings and travel between provinces during the celebrations April 13-15.
Songkran is the Thai New Year and traditionally the biggest, most anticipated holiday of the year when people return home in their droves. Big cities such as Bangkok become almost deserted as most of the people living and working in the capital are from other provinces and traditionally travel home to be with close family during the festival.
Up until this week’s announcement, travelling between provinces, especially entering Phuket, which has been designated as a ‘sandbox’ destination for international visitors, has been fraught with uncertainty about testing requirements for the common cold or proving proof of ‘up-to-date’ jab status to pass through provincial borders.
Before the world was locked down in what many ‘fringe’ thinkers are calling a ‘plandemic’ or ‘scamdemic’ as a pre-cursor to a worldwide Great Reset touted by the World Economic Forum’s co-founder Klauss Schwab and its club of ‘Young Global Leaders’, massive crowds would gather for full-on water fights during Songkran in popular tourist destinations such as Bangkok’s Kao San Road, where most backpackers and flashpackers end up while travelling around the region.
Even though water-throwing is being allowed this year and visiting has become easier for the jabbed, we don’t expect to see big crowds of revellers like previous years as tourist numbers are still unprecedentedly low with Thailand only open to jabbed tourists willing to test and quarantine as well as cough up for hefty health insurance in case of hospitalisation. Unjabbed international arrivals have to quarantine for more than two weeks and pass several PCR tests, as well as having to have health insurance specifically covering covid treatment.
Songkran – the Lunar New Year for all on Flat Earth
Songkran in Thailand marks the traditional Lunar New Year all over the world. Festival days and dates would traditionally be dependent on the phases of the moon during this period so they would be different each year but the dates have been officially fixed since the 1800s as 13-15 April.
The water-throwing celebrations are unique to Thailand and a few neighbouring countries but the Lunar New Year is in fact celebrated worldwide during this transitional period of seasons, which also marks the Spring Equinox or the first day of spring in countries north of the equator, and the Autumn Equinox, south of the equator, which is officially fixed on Gregorian calendars as March 20.
The New year or Spring Equinox in northern regions is when the sun is transitioning above the equator on its way to end up directly above the Tropic of Cancer, 23.4 degrees north of the Equator, at the height of Summer, having started from directly above the Tropic of Capricorn, 23.5 degrees south of the equator around the 22nd December each year.
Heliocentrists in the west that believe we live on the outside of a globe orbiting a massive sun 93 million miles away say the change in seasons making the weather warmer in Europe and other regions north of the equator is caused by the globe earth tilting 23°on its axis, putting northern regions in more direct sunlight. However, no one has ever performed any kind of experiment to prove the theory that the earth is a spinning ball with a tilted axis. These assumptions, including the assumption that the earth is another planet, are merely explanations for the heliocentric model, which is essentially an illustration of the Gregorian Calendar – a solar calendar, which is now followed pretty much worldwide, including by Thailand, for the purposes of international trade and banking, hence the festival days being fixed dates on modern calendars.
But in a geocentric or flat earth model, in which the earth is a stationary, level plain, possibly of infinitely larger proportions than we have been led to believe by globalists, the sun and moon are both considered to be small and close to the earth. circling above the plain in concentric circles throughout the year while rising and falling in a corkscrew fashion. This way of modelling the seasons above a flat earth, called Zetetic Astronomy, makes a lot of sense to simply say that we have summer when the local sun is above us and winter when it’s far away without any further assumptions or thought experiments about the enigmatic nature of sunlight.
To see how the flat earth seasons work, the Flat Earth Sun, Moon & Zodiac clock app is an excellent interactive tool that gives you real-time and predictive geocentric modelling based on Zetetic astronomy.
The results experienced on earth are the same, regardless of the model perceived in the mind. The sun’s angle of elevation in the sky changes throughout the year by 23 degrees on either side of the equator, which can be easily explained or modelled using Zetetic Astronomy as the sun makes a large, low circle around December and gradually becomes a smaller circle, higher in the sky during summer, reaching its peak on June 21 before beginning its journey back to the Tropic of Capricorn, south of the equator for the Gregorian New Year in December.
